This isn’t going to happen at scale anytime soon - at least not officially -
Maybe there’s a future where we build out a more dynamic website that could support multiple languages better - but switching platforms will likely take years.
I know there’s a Spanish version of some articles , out there on the internet
But I do not recommend trying a major project like that, opening a lot of issues, based on a *hope* of volunteer labor.
Anyone who does not speak English is welcome to submit anything to the site , possibly even in their native language
and we can translate it into English with Google translate and help them with that writing process (up to a point) .. the problem is that we do need to conduct a conversation and review any submissions accurately.. which is complicated..
If they make their own *large scale* Korean version of the Encyclopedia Galactica in pdfs or some other format, … that’s a whole other thing to deal with. But really I doubt that will happen.
I’d be open to adding attachments of those translated articles as downloadable files to the relevant Encyclopedia Galactica articles but I haven’t thought of or heard a way where it works well in our current system (very open to suggestions) .. I imagine others might disagree
But this issue of opening up OA to host translations of articles would become very complicated too fast, I think.
